Navy orders more maintenance to ensure machinery stays properly broken
SAN DIEGO — The Navy’s top maintenance officer claims sailors have to work harder to keep their equipment broken.
“I’ve done my best to ensure sailors receive no training on maintenance they have to do," Adm. Dwayne Rodney said earlier today. “Now they need to spend more time maintaining their equipment without knowing how, so it breaks. Then we’ll hire contractors to fix it. This is the most cost effective way to keep our fleet limping along in a state of semi-readiness.”
Speaking to reporters, Rodney said he was proud to see his policies in action during a recent visit to the USS Decatur.
